Error Code C-21
Oven overheating — oven temperature is rising excessively beyond set point
Moderate
Address soon - your appliance may not work properly
What This Means
Shorted oven temperature sensor; Damaged heating element (broil, bake, or convection); Faulty relay (DLB, Broil, Bake, Convection); Damaged wire harness; PCB malfunction
How to Fix
- 1
Disconnect power and open the back cover
- 2
Disconnect sensor harness from control unit
- 3
Measure sensor resistance (should be 1080Ω at room temperature)
- 4
Check broil, bake, and convection heater resistance
- 5
Verify DLB, Broil, Bake, and Convection heater relays are working normally
- 6
Check for damaged wire harness connected to sub PCB
- 7
Verify oven sensor connector resistance at sub PCB (Normal: 1080Ω)
